1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.


A double-edged blade with another blade attached perpendicularly to it connected to a long length of chain or cord, the kyoketsu shoge is believed to be the precursor to the more well-known kusari-gama, and is traditionally used almost exclusively by the ninja. Unlike a kusari-gama, however, a kyoketsu shoge is not a double weapon.

A kyoketsu shoge has reach, so you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you may also attack enemies adjacent to you without penalty. The wielder of a kyoketsu shoge can also alternate between slashing or piercing damage with each attack without penalty. You can make trip attempts with a kyoketsu shoge. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you may drop the weapon to avoid being tripped.

The Weapon Finesse feat may be used to apply your Dexterity modifier to attack rolls instead of your Strength modifier.
